The Eagle 4340 stroker crank gets some needed attention before assembly.		 Timber Wolf C2

The block is now ready for the Eagle 4340 stroker crank and rods. Once everything clears in the engine, the rotating assembly is balanced up on the Winona balancer, where the finished balance job was less than 1 gram max out of balance.

Once all work is completed, the block and all its parts receive a final wash and are readied for assembly. After the engine is completed, it is loaded onto the Stuska Track Master Dyno Cart and hooked up to the dyno.		 Timber Wolf C2
